#and finally convincing her that good antiparasitics as base protection are an absolute must for her dog's abhorrent skin problems

So tired of this week. And it’s only Wednesday

#tbh i was already tired on monday bc the weekend wasn't long enough to properly recover from the past two weeks #but today really sealed the deal #almost 12 hours at work yesterday because of an emergency #and while we were all glad we answered that phone call and fixed things (dog is much better today too) #it was pretty exhausting #and my second client was not only already pretty taxing in terms of personality and communication style #but also absolutely unbothered by the fact that i am in fact a graduated and licensed vet #so i spent 40mins taking an extensive history and doing an exam and explaining further diagnostics and treatment options #and finally convincing her that good antiparasitics as base protection are an absolute must for her dog's abhorrent skin problems #('BUT THE BAD CHEMICALS') #only for her to go 'well we'll have the doc take a look in a second' like??? #am i a joke to you #she's not the first one and won't be the last #and we were told at uni that esp young female-passing assistants with older male bosses get that treatment #and i could probably put down my foot more in such situations #but man am i grumpy and tired today #and it doesn't help that i'm feeling like an impostor more often than not anyway #well. #my brain's like an overstimulated chihuahua today #gonna go and give it something nice to chew on before it bites someone who doesn't deserve it #rant
